II. g. Dun " Co., Of New York in their
weekly trade review say. Money has
ranged from to S per cent for the week,
but operations to cause stringency will now
be exceedingly difficult every day, unless
unusual OutgO OF money should set IN, as In
1884, in place Of tho return customary in
April. Failures during the first quarter of
1857 were sma Ter in number than in 1856,
1885 or 1881, but the aggregate OF liabilities
was larger than last year, not because OF
general enlarging Of indebtedness, but be-
cause o few unusually heavy failures were
included.

Commissioner Coleman has returned from
Louisiana whittier he went, three weeks
ago, to prepare the way for experiments in
cane sugar making by the diffusion process
II have selected the Gov. Yarmouth planta-
tion. as you already know he said to an
Associated Press reporter, s.as the place
where we shall make the trial. The outlook
is very promising, though have made and
shall make NO prophesics as to results. The
result of our work with cane in Kansas was
far beyond expectations though We labored
unicr many difficulties. Experts ',o ex-
amined our cane before it was shipped said
that its yield would be only about 50 pounds
per ton, yet we got about 10 pounds. Ii
our experiments III Louisiana prove rs sue
cessful as we hope, the planters will he en-
atled to compete successfully with the best
sugar interests beyond u doubt"

the wrecked Scotia, off Fire Island, were
brought by burges to Castle Garden N. Y,
on the 21th, ravenons with hunger. Supt.
Jackson gave orders to give them all the
food they needed and charge it to the com
missioners OF immigration. Then the dis
tribution 0f food began. 1t was impossible
to regulate the distribution. Tue strong
men crowded to the front with uplifted
arms and their eyes starting from their
| sockets. crying in italian, s.bread, bread
The surging mob was utterly uncontroilatle
| TIL. officers of the garden aided in the dis
| tribution by throwing the loaves over the
heads of the nearest to tie outskirts OF the
| crowd. Every time a loaf was fired into
the crowd twenty or more scrambled and
in some cases fought to get it. Tho dry
bread was luxury. Many became sick
from eating after their long fast, and
| writhed on the floor OF the yotunda. The
| women. who composed with their children
the largest portion of the number, com
planned Of the had treatment, and said
they could not get food end water enough
